Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Following on from the theme that was set by this post about our super neighbourhood, I wonder if we can collectively create some posts that note the new, the lovely, the quirky and/or interesting as we walk around it.

Just a snapshot on a phone and a reason why it caught your eye or made you smile. 

Sometimes (and I am as guilty of this as anyone) we can focus too much on the things that bother us or that are wrong. There's nothing wrong with that, of course, and I would always say a picture is worth a thousand words when trying to get a problem solved. 

But here's the idea - take a picture...

...of something you've found on the street that makes you smile. Maybe it's a work of street art. Or maybe it's evidence of an act of kindness. Or maybe it's just something that's accidentally beautiful.

Or maybe it's a flower that's been sleeping all winter and is now giving its all. Or a glimpse of the past that reminds you of Harringay's origins. Or a new thing you've never tried before from one of the local shops. Or...hey you get the picture. Get snapping...

Here's my nomination. Any fans of the H G Wells The Door in the Wall will know why I can't pass this door in the Harringay Passage without a little flight of fancy about what might lay behind it.

Possibly the best ever wedding car, at least my 7 yr old daughter thought so when we spotted this a few weeks ago on our way to Blend for lunch.

 Love this post... x

Great idea Liz! I will keep my eyes peeled :)

Was this an example of

This bit of paper made me happy today

Where is the door?
Between Effingham and Fairfax - the wide bit

I wonder what's going on down the road that they're all so fascinated!!!  Maybe an edition of Spring-Watch Live!!!

 

Fab placement.

This always makes me smile! One of my favourite Green Lanes things.
